Proverbs 9:8 ASV

⁶  Leave off, ye simple ones, and live; And walk in the way of understanding.

⁷  He that correcteth a scoffer getteth to himself reviling; And he that reproveth a wicked man `getteth' himself a blot.

⁸  Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

⁹  Give `instruction' to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

¹⁰  The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
